Chad Powers Season 2 Earns Perfect Score

The second season of the Hulu sports comedy "Chad Powers" has debuted to widespread critical acclaim, earning a perfect 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes. The new batch of six episodes, which premiered on September 3, 2026, represents a significant improvement over the first season, which received a more mixed critical reception. The series, created by Michael Waldron and Glen Powell, follows a disgraced former college quarterback who attempts a comeback by posing as a walk-on player under the alias Chad Powers. The show's premise centers on Russ Holliday, played by Powell, who dons a prosthetic disguise to join the struggling South Georgia Catfish football team. The first season established the central lie and the initial conflicts, ending with a cliffhanger where Ricky Hudson, the coach's daughter, discovered Russ's true identity and threatened to expose him. Season 2 picks up roughly two weeks after the team's dramatic win over Georgia, which left Coach Jake Hudson hospitalized with a heart attack. The new episodes see the circle of trust around Russ's secret expand, with more characters becoming aware of his deception, raising the stakes significantly.
